http://www.princessglammy.com/when-stars-get-tips/#commentsThu, 08 Feb 2018 16:44:12 +0000http://www.princessglammy.com/?p=529Well the “stars” have settled into the Big Brother house, picked their beds and made alliances and yes one of them is causing a tad bit more drama than the others and it’s not Omarosa!!!! No the drama queen of the season so far is the wine swigging Brandi! Oh my….

The feeds tuned on at midnight EST and low and behold Brandi was shitfaced, slurring her words and wanting to play sha-rads… So she grabbed the gang and headed to the living room while spilling her wine, then she subjected them all to the rules of charades, as if they were stupid.

They were all playing, having fun and laughing…… Then things got strange when Brandi tried to act out Jumanji and I can’t even tell you how awkward I felt when she pointed at Marissa’s nose to get to the word Jew….. I just, mmmhhmm, I lasted about another 5 minutes after than. She really is a friggin idiot and classless.

So this morning I turned the feeds back on to catch Metta talking to us about having a hard time when he first entered the house, he was missing his child and now hangs out with the owl teddy bear to make himself feel a little better. He really appears to be a nice guy and I hope he lasts a while in the house.

In the kitchen we had Omarosa and Marissa talking about the antics of last night, apparently when I went to bed all kinds of nonsense broke out and yes it was all thanks to drunk Brandi! She was up in peoples faces, saying things she shouldn’t, jumping on Shannon….. Marissa said she was hiding the wine so Brandi couldn’t drink more….

The topic of conversation today is going to be should they discuss the drinking with Brandi or not. Omarosa isn’t sure if they should, while Marissa is convinced that the guys will bring it up. I guess Brandi was that bad and people are now slightly miffed. Oh well, what do they expect it’s Big Brother after all!

http://www.princessglammy.com/scones/#commentsThu, 22 Jun 2017 21:09:04 +0000http://www.princessglammy.com/?p=523Nowhere in the US can you find a perfect scone… I have looked high and low, for years and every time they are either too soft or just hard bricks with no flavor, so after a long time looking I finally found a recipe that works and then of course I changed it so that it would be the perfect British Scone. I make these all the time and I love them!

Ingredients

2 cups flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

2 1/2 teaspoons sugar

1/2 teaspoon sea salt (course is better)

4 1/2 tablespoons very cold unsalted butter

2/3 cup milk

1 egg yolk whisked with 1 tablespoon milk.

Method

Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.

Mix the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt, cut butter into little cubes and drop a few pieces into the flour mixture rubbing the butter into flour, add more until the entire bowl looks like cornmeal. If you are taking a while to crumble the butter, put it back in the fridge until you need it all, you have to use very cold butter or the texture will be wrong for the scones. Once you have a crumbly flour, add 2/3 cup milk and mix until just enough to bind the wet and dry ingredients.

Pour out onto a floured surface and kneed 3 or 4 times, then pat the dough into a 1 inch thick round and use a 2 inch round pastry cutter or a glass to cut out the scones, you should get between 8 – 12 depending on the size you make them. With the left over dough gently mold back into a ball, flatten and repeat.

Brush the scones with the egg yolk and milk mixture covering the entire tops, this helps with even browning of the scones.

Bake for 13 mins, bake for 1-2 minutes longer if the scones aren’t golden brown on top. Remove and cool on a cooling rack.

To top the scones you can eat plain with a light butter spread or add strawberry jam and whipped cream (which is my favorite)

If you want to jazz up the scones you can add raisins 1/4 cup to the dough when you add the milk and mix them in.

http://www.princessglammy.com/big-brother-not-this-year/#commentsWed, 21 Jun 2017 20:27:24 +0000http://www.princessglammy.com/?p=517Another summer has arrived and I should be excited for the upcoming season of Big Brother, but this year I really can’t be bothered with it. Last year I lost interest within weeks, the year before that the same and this year I refuse to waste another moment watching this show.

My taste in reality TV has changed. I know spend my nights glued to Masterchef, Basketball Wives, Shah’s, Housewives and a show about people that work on a yacht (I don’t even remember the name of it but it’s on Bravo and is hilarious) I stopped watching Survivor and The Amazing Race (Is it still on?) years ago, so it was only a matter of time before I walked away from Big Brother ….

I will still be blogging just about other stuff…. I am going on vacation with Mr Glam, I am going to cook, hang out with my kids, drink wine with friends on a Friday night and just have a different kind of summer this year…. Maybe I’ll make it to the beach, I never get there even thought it’s literally 15 minutes from the front door, so I should at least give it a try!

Enjoy your summer, I’ll be around Hugs Glams xo

http://www.princessglammy.com/black-lives-matter-by-mr-glam-dont-run/#commentsThu, 23 Feb 2017 01:47:53 +0000http://www.princessglammy.com/?p=512Hi everyone, Mr. Glam here. I’m hijacking Glammy’s website for a bit. The Black lives matter movement, Highly controversial among white people, pro-law enforcement, conservatives, 2nd amendment folks, etc. BTW I am all of those, but I want to share my journey regarding Black lives matter. I’m a 45 year old white guy raised on a farm on the eastern shore of Maryland. My father was a sophomore in high school when segregation of blacks and whites ended in our home town, I believe this was a difficult change for him and his friends. My home farm, until the mid-1970s had a black farm-hand that literally sat at a school desk in the corner to eat lunch while the whites ate at the dining room table. Me, a child of 5-6 could even see the wrong in that… scratch that, I’m sure I didn’t see that as wrong but confusing at that age. My grand-father and all that came before him were racists, I don’t say that in a derogatory way, because I love my family and heritage. I just say it as fact.

So after a little family background, what are my thoughts on “Black lives matter”? I remember the first time I heard it… My reaction was a strong “ef that!! All lives matter” And then I, for a long time, basked in my white privilege (ignored it). I laughed at the Facebook dog memes “Black labs matter”, I nodded my head for “Blue lives matter” Yep. I DID NOT GET the old hippie white guy holding the “Black Lives Matter” sign on the side of the road. I didn’t get it at all. So when I realized it wasn’t going away overnight, I decided to look into it a little further. So apart from the select individuals that have used the Black lives matter catchphrase to commit violence and insight rioting and looting. “Black Lives Matter” is a group of mothers (parents) that want their sons (children) to come home safely. I don’t know about you, but I want my kids to come home safely. So yes, All Lives Matter, but if you have negative feelings toward the Black Lives Matter catchphrase or movement, you’re part of the problem. I did a little research and I get it now.

I’m pro-equality for the human race!!

http://www.princessglammy.com/mint-and-cilantro-chutney/#respondThu, 27 Oct 2016 15:37:01 +0000http://www.princessglammy.com/?p=499This took some work, finding the right combination of flavors to make the prefect Mint and Cilantro Chutney. I tried many times to get it right and finally, a few weeks ago, I did it!

Ingredients

1 cup mint leaves

1 cup cilantro

Juice of 1 lemon

Juice of 1 lime

1 inch of ginger finely diced

1 inch of fresh turmeric (if you can’t find fresh you could use 1/2 tsp powder)

1 tsp cumin powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 clove of garlic

1 jalapeno with the seeds removed

1/4 – 1/2 cup water

Method

Combine all the ingredients in a food processor or a blender, I used my ninja on setting 3, and puree until smooth. It should take a few mins to breakdown all the mint and cilantro leaves to a smooth paste. Transfer to a bowl and use as a chutney for Samosas, Bhaji’s and Naan breads. Delicious!! Makes about 1 cup of Chutney.

You can store in the fridge covered for up to 7 days, unless you are like us and it’s gone by day 2.

http://www.princessglammy.com/onion-bhaji/#respondThu, 27 Oct 2016 15:36:21 +0000http://www.princessglammy.com/?p=496I have loved Indian food since I was a kid, everywhere you go in the UK you can find an Indian restaurant or take out place on every street. When I moved to the states I was shocked at how difficult it was to find a restaurant that served Indian cuisine, it was basically non-existent. I remember living in Maryland and having to drive nearly an hour over the Bay Bridge and head towards Annapolis to find India’s, one of the most fabulous and sadly most expensive restaurant I have ever dined at.

Well I no longer live in Maryland and the Florida version of my favorite type of food can be a hit or a miss, so I had to adapt and learn how to make all the different dishes for myself! It took a long time but now I think I am pretty damn good at it.

I came up with this recipe last week, I searched the web for a Bhaji recipe and didn’t find anything that sounded quite right…. So I made it up, I do that a lot…. People ask me “where did you find the recipe?” I say “I wrote it down as I was making it”

So here’s we go, this is my Bhaji recipe :

What you will need : Frying pan with deep sides and cooking oil

Ingredients

1/2 tsp Turmeric powder

1 Tsp Cumin seeds

1/4 tsp fennel seeds

2 tsp ginger (diced)

2 curry leaves

1 large onion – thinly sliced

1/2 tsp Cayenne pepper

1/2 teaspoon cumin powder

1 tsp coriander powder

1 tsp baking powder

2 tbsp Sooji (Semolina Flour)

1 cup Besan Flour (found in Indian Markets)

1-1/2 cups water.

Method

Slice the onion as thin as you can, put in a bowl until later. Add all the dry ingredients and then mix in 1 cup of water, whisk the batter together, if the batter is too thick, add more water slowly, until the batter is slightly thicker than pancake batter. Pour in the onions to the batter and with your hands mix the batter and onions until all the onion is covered in the batter.

Heat the oil to around 325 degrees. Once the oil is hot enough, test the heat by adding one slice of onion, if the onion sizzles immediately then the oil is hot enough. Once again you are back to getting your hands dirty, grab a handful of the onion and batter mixture, squeeze it tightly and then slowly lower the odd looking ball of onion into the oil, it should sizzle. Continue doing this until you have a total of 4 bhaji’s in the frying pan.

Using a metal ladle, swish the bhaji’s around the pan, after a few mins you will see the they are turning a golden brown, slowly flip them over so the other side can cook. They shouldn’t take more than a few minutes on each side to cook.

I eat these for lunch or as an appetizer with dinner. They are basically the Indian version of Onion Rings just way better!! Enjoy xo

http://www.princessglammy.com/team-sitting-ducks/#commentsFri, 26 Aug 2016 15:13:54 +0000http://www.princessglammy.com/?p=476Last night’s episode was one of the best I have seen in a very long time, the jury segment had me dying laughing…. Paulie I am so happy that the girls grilled you and laid you out, you deserve everything you get, you were a disaster on the show and apparently you are not doing much better in the Jury house!

When Victor won the Battle Back, again, I cheered. I am so happy that this kid has made Big Brother history, he may become the first person ever to win the game after being evicted twice, that would be a huge deal and would show future contestants never give up…. even if you are evicted. Vic Vic Victorious!!! WOOHOO!!!

Nicole cut a deal with James, if she won the HOH she wouldn’t nominated him….. Now here’s the thing that boy was shaking and hurting, he was looking over at Nat constantly trying to eavesdrop on the conversations she was having with Victor, he was close to falling off….. He cut a last minute deal with Nic and then tried pulling the mom card and fell off. Nicole won the HOH…… then she immediately started having a change of heart regarding the deal she had just made….. I think James may get Shellie’d……. Karma may be a bitch for James, I have my fingers crossed that Nicole, Corey, Victor and Paul join forces and get James out.

Now onto my favorite alliance ever….. Team Sitting Ducks, these two boys, Victor and Paul have literally battled everyone, been nominated, won veto’s, HOHs, been betrayed by every alliance they have been in and one of them have been evicted, twice only to come back in epic style and still they are going strong. Their latest move is to buddy up with Corey and Nicole. After their chat with Nicole and Corey last night, it looks like Michelle and James could go on the block….

Nicole said she didn’t want to be a liar and her morals were kicking in…. Shockingly Corey, the voice of 5 reasons, stepped in and listed off all the reasons James should go on the block today…. I was kinda stunned that Corey wants to work with the boys and take out James, Nat and Michelle…. He likes the idea of having a higher chance of getting to the final 4 with the boys rather than a possible kinda sorta maybe thing with James.

I can’t wait to hear the results of who is nominated today, I will be dancing around if it’s James…. I would love that! The only question is will Nicole take the advice of Corey and actually make her first real alliance in this game or will she crumble and nominate Victor and Michelle instead? Oh one last thing…. Michelle cried again….. Never Cared!

Until later Hugs Glams

http://www.princessglammy.com/happy-return-ticket-day/#commentsThu, 18 Aug 2016 16:53:35 +0000http://www.princessglammy.com/?p=462I really can’t wait for tonight’s episode, I want to know if anyone has the return ticket and if Paulie will struck back into the house like a proud peacock…. If he doesn’t then we probably won’t get a double eviction because of the number of weeks and number of house-guests left…. I really hope something major happens tonight because I just renewed my cancelled feeds and I will be pissed if I am shafted out of some type of entertainment on the feeds.

Not saying that last night wasn’t epic when Baldwin the profanity laced Bald Eagle went ape shit crazy on James or the Puppet Show hosted by Paul, where he roasted the entire cast, but it would get kinda boring if that was our fun feeds for the next 5 weeks…… Is there 5 weeks left or possibly slightly more?

I really want all hell to break, I want Nicole sobbing in a corner wailing “Coreeeeeeee” when they are both nominated, I want James and Michelle being the target of Paulie because it’s apparently all their fault…. I need Natalie to totally meltdown on Paulie and Corey for being the dick heads that they are…. I need her to get mad and scare the hell out of the boys…. All 4 foot 11 inches of her! I think it would be hilarious if she won the HOH tonight and she was the one to send Paulie, Corey or Nicole home…..

The game has to keep flipping back and forth, we can’t have 1 person in charge of the entire season ala Derrick, it is boring, we hate watching the same shit every day, we need people making more moves and telling more lies to get to the final 2! I wouldn’t mind losing James, I really can’t stand the sigh of him…. I am over him giving the nominees the heads up because he is scampering for votes, he needs to STFU and explain himself on the finale night of how he played them not told them everything he was doing!

So tonight I want the return ticket to be in Paulie’s bag, yes I hate the sucker but come on…… he comes back, it’s the teacup HOH and Natalie slips and slides her way to the win and then Michelle or Victor get the care package, just imagine how the “cool kids” would feel knowing none of them won anything worthwhile and the other shoe would drop that we can’t stand them!

Now that would be feeds Gold…. Oh and we would have the added bonus of Paulie wimping over baking Apple Pie for another week, while waving his limp flag….. See you all tonight on twitter!! Happy Eviction Day!!!!!!! Hugs Glams xo

http://www.princessglammy.com/the-return-ticket/#commentsWed, 17 Aug 2016 21:54:03 +0000http://www.princessglammy.com/?p=452Not much has been going on inside the wall of the campaigns, once the Veto Ceremony took place on Monday, it’s been pretty quiet. The nominees have resigned themselves to the fact that the Bromance of the Century will come to an end on Thursday…… Paulie has been attempting to make as little pies as he possibly can get away with and Corey has basically snuggled up with a traffic cone to pass the time.

The Fem Party are pretty secure in their plans that Paulie is going home, the only thing they have tried to pull is rattle Captain Vanilla and his Traffic Cone, by saying that there are rumblings around the house that Paulie may stay, but really it’s a dead end because James basically confirmed this afternoon that Corey was safe….. but maybe to be totally sure he should go speak to Natalie about her vote…. As if Nat and James aren’t going to vote together *eye roll*

We all got a little excited over the news that there was an additional episode that will air this Friday…. Oh we all thought that there was going to be a battle back comp, probably the wall….. Remember back to season 15 when Judd and crew were on one side (Helen allegedly got shoved off the wall) and the other 8 Hamsters were on the other-side? Well I really thought it was going to be that, but alas…. It was just Ziggy Marley in the backyard giving them a concert and they won prizes, bonus help in the game and crap like that!

Here’s were it gets interesting, for me anyway, I have a feeling that Paulie has the return ticket and he will re-enter the house and play in tomorrow night’s HOH…. It may be an endurance comp, Tea Cups or Walls, something like that…. I think this because he and Captain Vanilla will both be in the footage on Friday night and CBS normally likes to keep the continuity going throughout the season (boys can’t shave, girls can’t dye their hair etc) If it’s a flashback to something that happened prior to eviction it’s normally in black and white… Are CBS suddenly going to say…. “This past week on Biiiiiiiiiig Brother”? It just doesn’t add up for me.

So this is why I think that Paulie Pissy Pants will be evicted and come right back in the bloody door! With that being said, can you imagine the drama and chaos this would cause? If he won the damn HOH and tried to nominate 2 people only to be told that Victor or Michelle were his co-HOHs for the week and each person gets to nominate 1 person? All hell would break! It would be kinda hilarious on the feeds…. So what do you guys think? Hugs Glams xo

http://www.princessglammy.com/pies-cries-and-lots-of-lies/#commentsMon, 15 Aug 2016 16:26:08 +0000http://www.princessglammy.com/?p=432It was fun and games within the dueling campaign headquarters this past weekend….. President Paulie Pissy Pants of Pie Making sobbed, lied and cried….. Pakour Paul emerged making everyone laugh, The VP of endless Expressions turned into Captain America, A Veto was played and a lecture ensued.

Let’s get to the actual game part of the blog. Veto was played and Victor won, he does not plan on using the veto on either Paulie Pissy Pants or the most boring individual I have ever had the misfortune of watching on the feeds VP Vanilla….. So after the Veto Ceremony today expect Paulie not to campaign while campaigning, and not throw his VP Vanilla under the bus while throwing him under the bus…. Yep it’s going to be a weird few days guys!

I swear I have never seen anyone as pathetic and childish as President Paulie Pissy Pants….. He lost the damn veto, big deal, so what, get over it….. start campaigning to stay and win…… but no this boy cried, lied and refused to make pies! Instead he kept doing his own thing, ignored BB and laid out and tanned.

His punishment from the Veto was to bake pies whenever BB told him to, wear and apron and a hat and wave a flag for 40 minutes while the Apple Pie baked….. Would he go along with the game…. Fuck no! He wailed bloody murder…. he misbehaved, laid in bed, sulked in the DR for I think 3 or possibly 4 hours, refused to bake a pie and kept on running around the back yard…… Lied about having a mental illness, started throwing around that his relative was dying of cancer (which apparently she is) to gain sympathy and when it didn’t work started crying over his ex-girlfriend who he went “deep” with….

As part of VP Vanilla’s punishment, he had to dress up as an American Flag guy, with a Bald Eagle on one hand and a Zingbot for President sign on the other….. He laughed, he joked, he giggled with his girl, he never broke a fucking smile or moved that botoxed face of his….. expressionless. It’s so hard to tell what he is feeling because he has the same space cadet look to his face all the damn time. His personality is about as boring as his blank stare……

Paul, who is a total riot, I love this guy, he makes the feeds, his punishment was to dress up as a Secret Service Agent and frisk and account for all of the house guests, when the alarm sounded…. He also had to clear each “checkpoint” He took this challenge on and had the best time running around the house, planting “blow” on the hamsters, jumping over sofas, sliding down the railing of the staircase and running slide across the dining room table each time he passed by…. This is how you are supposed to deal with a punishment, not sulk and complain!

Eventually President Pissy Pants donned the apron, hat and flag…. baked the pie and cried…. While the whole house stood there awkwardly…. Paul announced when the pie came out of the oven that it tasted “great” then bolted for the backyard, James tried to listen to the wailing rants of Paulie but couldn’t take it and booked it to the backyard…. Eventually everyone just got up and walked away….. only VP Vanilla stayed to comfort his boy…

Once Pissy had folded up his apron, he went outside to run and BB played the sound for him to make his second pie and we got fish….. He flat out refused to participate….. He apparently kept on running, pissed off production again and had the fans wishing he would go swim with the fishes that were on their screens, when the feeds came back he was getting lectured by his VP about behaving and having fun with everyone…. He was told not to “go out like this dude, I love you” It was pathetic, this spoiled, entitled brat was causing more trouble for CBS and giving us a major headache…. During the 2nd pie bake, nobody except VP Vanilla stood by him…. nobody cared…

Today the veto will not be used by the Fem Party, Pissy and Vanilla will stay on the block, they will both claim they aren’t going to go after each other “Type Thing” but will totally campaign to stay…. well Paulie will campaign, Vanilla thinks he is totally safe and will just wander around the house looking stoned….. Paul will continue running around legally touching up the house-guests while doing Pakour on every surface he can find and The Fem Party will just coast to the end of this week……

So that’s about it…. Lies, Cries and lots of Lies…… Wash, rinse and repeat for today, just les crying Pissy it’s not a good look!! Hugs Glams xo
